Somewhere on Superstition Mountain there lies a treasure as big as the West. Silver screen legend Glenn Ford stars as Jacob "Dutch" Walz, the man behind the myth of Arizona's infamous Lost Dutchman gold mine. LUST FOR GOLD is the quintessential gold rush tale, chronicling one man's quest for the mother lode and the complications that come with such passions. This timeless tale of love, loss, danger and greed co-stars Ida Lupino, Gig Young and an uncredited appearance by Jay Silverheels.
From its initial release in 1949, to the VHS forty years later, to the DVD this year, Columbia Pictures never had a clue how great this movie is. Always under promoted, always passed off as just another cheap western; until it was listed on eBay where buyers have been hungrily going for it. The unique structure has a present day (1948) narrative set in Florence, Arizona, as the Dutchman's grandson seeks the Lost Dutchman mine. This part is the first 20 minutes and the final 20 minutes of the movie. In the middle is a gritty, excellent flashback that tells the Dutchman's story: Greed, romance, betrayal, more betrayal, and more greed. Frankly, I've watched the 40 minute middle of this movie over 50 times. It always grabs me. I was 11 years old when I saw this movie at the Silver. It impressed me then, but more so now. Be sure you see this one.IMDB Reviewer
